Goodbye - To My First Love

Brenda Scully's poem "Is It Just Cold Water Thrown Over Me", opened a window to my soul again, and brought back memories of my first love and the experience of a a broken heart. I am writing this poem again from memory as I lost a few of my written poems a few years ago. This was written over 25 years ago, and I gave him this poem as my good-bye letter, so I could move on.

The Photo is Cris A's beautiful photo shop work which he generously shared with hubbers so we can use it to inspire ourselves and gave us permission to use his photos. Sorry, Cris, I couldn't come up with a new poem or creation, but it brought back memories, and from here I can be inspired. I am also grateful, that my heart is in a better place. :)

be inspired: some kinda challenge thingy...and more photoshop

Now the time had come for me to face

that we can never be more than just friends-

Shattered dreams of a love

that was not meant to be

made me much the wiser 

to understand we come from

two different roads that 

can never merge to be truly one.

But, I find a sweet happiness

I grew up in ways, some of

which you still may not see.

In silence and tears

I now walk away,

leaving your to your life

while I live mine with my hopes

and dreams for a better

tomorrow.
